Protests in Egypt after Mohammed Morsi grants himself sweeping new powers

Protesters storm an office of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim
Brotherhood Freedom and Justice party and set fires in the Mediterranean
port city of Alexandria. Mr Morsi was accused of appointing himself as
“Egypt’s new pharaoh” after he gave himself sweeping powers to oversee the
country’s political transition in the wake of his success in negotiating a
ceasefire in Gaza. Mr Morsi declared unilaterally that until a new
constitution is decreed all presidential decisions would be immune from
legal challenge.
